Deus Ex Alpha

The mod is almost done. I'm now downloading the release of its Alpha V03 version - the last beta before its release. Downloading takes long (i get 40 kb a second speed from PlanetDeusEx.ru server, thats very nice for my connection, but still takes time). The mod, in .rar (!) format takes 119 megabytes, even bigger than RedSun.
In this release Ded didn't include weapon animations (we're working on it, thats hard, but i think, models in 2027 will be much more interesting than Cassandra's or other mod's) and most of conversations. With all these stuff, the mod's size will be about 160 mb in ZIP - imho (better ask Ded).
Anyway, this release of the mod is devided into 10 megabyte parts (.rar archive parts) so its easier to live for dial up'ers.
I'll post some more information with screenshots soon in this topic.
Dae.

Could I test it? I've tested Redsun 2020 and found some bugs(how to keep getting skill points etc)

a) its for Invisible Hand leaders only
b) its only on russian

Hmm...
That first thing could be arranged, just like the second
`apt-get russian_language, russian_nationality, invisiblehand_leadership

I think that final version will be at least 200mb, because:
1) There will be much more conversation_audio.
2) There will be much more maps, textures, sounds and models.
3) There will be new music files.
4) There probably will be a final version of Resurrection add-on.

The mod, in .rar (!) format takes 119 megabytes

Probably with 7-zip archiver it will be smaller, but it seems it can be only in single file.

For max compression 7zip need ~1900Mb of RAM

Sorry! It was me.

WE NEED REVIEW AND SCREENSHOTS!!! MORE SCREEENSHOTS!!!!!!!!!!

I really don't think that it's possible to beat the quality of someone's models when you aren't using the same guns...

2Ã?1 GB sticks

2Ã?1 GB sticks

But it will use ONLY ~1900 Megs for itself

Its like to say (about maps here): "its impossible to beat quality of Jazz'sPoolParty when we're not using it". So, by your opinion, we can't say that DXMP_Condemned, DXMP_Towers, DXMP_Redemption and other maps are much more qualitative and professional than this nuby box map... cool

DXMP_Towers

Eeeek! ... sorry

No, now you're twisting my words. A 2 poly pistol is obviously worse than a 5000 poly MP5, but when you get into DX quality meshes (i.e. not very high poly) there is little or no difference between mod-quality meshes. Granted, you have a good modeler, but so does TCP.

Since now i understand I agree.

What can you say about these ones?


++I'am the main 2027 modeler.

*gets a boner from models* very nice! High-quality stuff! Good for DX quality. I would say they are almost, if not, retail quality. TCP's are just as good though.

Jazz'sPoolParty a nubby box map? I'd say a well designed map.

they look better than CS weapons....very nice!

my only concern is if the reloading animations will be good...

...nice looking handgun clips never hurt

CS weapons are very low quality

nice models, what program do you use Ded

These are not my models, but they were done in 3D Max. Personally I use Milkshape3D (for all non-weapon models and creating animations).

Can't prove me wrong?

Yeah sure it is well designed map

*Gives you a cookie*

I was wondering if we were any closer to a release date for 2027 or Resurrection? Also with the former, I understand you're going to divide it up for ease of downloading, I wonder if you could also put the whole thing for one download, as those with relatively good broadband wouldn't mind downloading a 200mb package.
Tahnks for all your hard work on this mod, the screens look great!

Release date depends on how much free time I will have. Right now I'm studying at university, so I don't really have much time for 2027. The current release date is Q1 2005. Resurrection will be released one month before 2027.

My internet connection is pretty expensive, so it will be hard for me to upload both one- and multi- files install. Also I doubt that planetdeusex.ru host will be able to store ~400mb for these two versions.

Ded, thanks for the reply. Appreciate the quick response. I didn't realise about the financial implications of putting something up for download. Q1 2005 sounds a long way away, but with HL2, and other good stuff (Halo 2) out soon, I'm sure we'll get by.
All the best, good luck at Uni.

Just realised that my last post was as a guest (forgot to log in ) so just another quick thank-you with hopefully my name on it!
